Tom thanks Martin and awards him ¿a smiley?:

Tom, shame, letting such an answer-oriented book go to waste!   Meteorites A 
-Z is available from several nice listmembers and is highly  recommended to 
answer all sorts of routine questions about dates and falls  instantly!  Someone 
please offer this man a deal on this book!  Or see  if he'll trade for a 
piece of his nice Franconia find!!
:-)

Also Tom,  another good source faster than posting is the NHM online 
Catalogue search  feature, where you can just put the year in this link I have copied 
for you  below (book mark it), selecting "falls"and the year in this case.  I 
tried  1977 and 1978 on two clicks and only came up with one in the US, 
"Louisville",  in Kentucky, but that was on January 31, not in the summer.  Instead 
of  specifying USA I left it open for all countries, the search works better 
that  way, and of course Canada was a possibility an answer for your question!!
